Men's brains / women's brains

Postby Pastor Gary » December 3rd, 2009, 11:40 pm

Every night on Facebook I read posts from women unable to sleep. LOTS of them. I, on the other hand, can barely stay awake to read those posts. For the enlightenment of those sleepless women, and the amusement of the men in their lives, I present this highly accurate explanation of the difference between men's brains and women's brains:

you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

Thanks. I couldn't tell you how many times I've been asked, "how can you be thinking about nothing?" by the women in my life. Good to have something to refer them to.
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

I have taught on this (not nearly as well as this pastor on the video) and my wife and I have discussed this. She (and I think most women) can NOT disengage her brain. Period. Wakes up full of thoughts, and goes to sleep unable to turn them off. I'd be in a straight jacket without my "nothing" ability. I face some pretty heavy stuff some days, and need to put them away, close the box, and compartmentalize.

On a side note, this is why men can be sexual in the midst of a hurricane, and a women says "HOW CAN YOU THINK OF SEX AT A TIME LIKE THIS??" To the man, who compartmentalizes, the two have nothing to do with one another, and to the woman, to whom all things are interconnected, everything effects everything else.
